The Capita-approved backup service for SIMS data
The RBUSS Redstor Backup for Schools service automatically protects data residing on desktops, laptops, servers and network attached storage devices according to retention policies and schedules set by the user. Data is compressed, encrypted and sent to one of our secure, state-of-the-art data centres before it is replicated to a second secure Redstor data centre assuring the data is safely offsite for disaster recovery and regulatory compliance purposes. When data recovery is required, users can simply select the data to restore using an intuitive interface or for large data sets, the data can be returned to site for local, high speed LAN based recovery.
